Bulk actions on applications

Bulk actions on applications

Perform actions on multiple applications at once from the Applications table. Bulk actions reduce manual effort when managing large numbers of applications.

Selecting applications

Select the checkbox on any row to select an application.

Select the checkbox in the header row to select every application on the current page. A banner shows the count, for example 60 of 95 Applications are selected on this page. Select Select all 95 Applications to extend the selection across every page.

With one or more applications selected, the toolbar switches to bulk action mode and displays Bulk Edit and Bulk Update.


Bulk Edit

Bulk Edit updates a field across all selected applications directly in the table, without downloading a file.

  1. Select one or more applications.
  2. Select Bulk Edit.
  3. Choose a field from the dropdown.
  4. Set the new value for the selected field.

Changes apply immediately to every selected application.

  5. Choose the file type: CSV or CSV for Excel.

  6. Select Download Editable CSV.

Scope of bulk actions

Bulk actions:

  • Apply only to selected applications
  • Respect the active tab, view, and filters
  • Update application metadata only

Bulk actions do not modify table layout or view settings.

When to use each option

Use Bulk Edit for a quick update to one field across selected applications.

Use Bulk Update for changes across multiple fields, or when working with a large number of applications using a CSV file.
